LGM looks like a great place, as there will probably be many people 
involved with fonts there.

But a caveat here: the fact that there will be more fonts people may 
mean that the interest will shift towards fonts and typography issues 
as opposed to text layouting. I can even imagine two tracks running at 
the same time: one for fonts, one for text layouting, which may come 
together in talks like typography features in Scribus, to say 
something.

I'll probably be there, but I've made no arrangements yet.

As said above, I'd like to see more fonts issues as there'll probably 
more interest in that at LGM. But I'm not sure if it should be part of 
the text layout meeting...
